Title: Best Breakfast Foods To Raise Testosterone
1Best Breakfast Foods To Raise Testosterone
When working to raise testosterone levels
naturally you have to take a craftsman like
approach to the process. No operator undertakes a
mission with a half assed, haphazard approach and
working to raise testosterone should be no less
serious an endeavour. Diet is crucial in all
aspects of health and fitness. We know that our
diet is the principal factor in our weight, the
way we look, feel and our energy levels. Well..
really what that statement means is that
nutrition underpins our hormonal health and when
our hormones are balanced, we find our optimal
health.
Nutritionists often call breakfast the Most
Important Meal of the Day so its sad to see so
many people failing to take advantage of this. In
terms of being the most important meal of the
day, it isnt because of the fact it somehow
provides you with unlimited energy and high mood
for the rest of the day In fact if you do
breakfast the wrong way it can actually create a
foundation for fat gain. Heres where it gets
even more disturbing and the alarm bells should
be sounding.
2What to Eat (And what to avoid) To Raise
Testosterone
These are some general guidelines for breakfast
nutrition no matter your goals Get The Right
Calories Depending on your goals, youre going
to have to adjust your calories accordingly (e.g.
Lower calories for fat loss). This should be
reflected in all your meals, meaning that if
youre aiming for weight loss, it would be
foolish to eat half your daily calories in the
morning. On the other hand, if youre trying to
gain lean mass, then you should make sure youre
getting enough calories in the morning.
Consume Fat Getting a diet with plenty of fat is
essential for proper hormonal function. Dont be
afraid to eat foods that are high in cholesterol
either, as these foods have little impact on
heart health. And remember, fatty foods are more
than just eggs and meat, they include specific
nuts, oils and avocadoes. Avoid Lots of Carbs A
lot of people today are saying carbs are the
enemythis isnt true. For optimal testosterone
levels, men need to consume carbohydrates. What
the critics really are concerned with is the type
of carbohydrates. For example, avoid simple
sugars at breakfast and instead stick with
complex, slow-digesting carbs. To be clear the
timing of your carb intake is critical. If I
havent trained I wont eat them. My carb intake
is post training whenever possible.
3Intermittent Fasting
A popular dieting regimen that has emerged in
recent years is intermittent fasting. Essentially
this is the process of only consuming calories
within a short timeframe each day. For example,
you may only eat within an 8 hour period, and
fast for 16 hours. There are numerous benefits to
this including rapid weight loss which has made
it possible. It has also been shown to increase
growth hormone in the body (study) , which leads
many to believe that it will definitely increase
testosterone as well. Studies are still
inconclusive on this, but it may be a good idea
for guys who are trying to lose weight. That said
guys looking to pack on a lot of size should
stick to a full breakfast post training. There
are just too many benefits.
Caffeine Drinks
A hot beverage filled with caffeine is a staple
in the morning routines of many people. Whether
its coffee or tea, that soothing aroma is just
something a lot of us just cant live withoutand
thats not a bad thing. Coffee is often the
subject of studies claiming that it is either
amazing or terrible for health. The truth lies in
the middle. When it comes to its effects on
Testosterone, there is no overwhelming evidence
that it drives it significantly in either
direction. As for green tea, the estrogen
blocking effects are well studied (study).
Estrogen blocking in addition to raising
testosterone is a strategy that underpins the
TCycle Diet.
4The Best Foods
The clear favorite for best breakfast food is
eggs. Eggs are close to being the perfect food
High in protein, contain healthy fats, lots of
vitamins and minerals, and dietary cholesterol
which drives up testosterone. Eggs should be a
breakfast staple cooked anyway you like them. And
this is where a common debate comes up To eat
the egg yolks or not? Decades ago egg yolks got a
bad rap. People were strongly against fat
consumption because they were under the
assumption that these fats would lead to
a.)Higher cholesterol levels and b.) More body
fat. The first misconception was just based on
bad science. We now know that dietary cholesterol
has little effect on blood cholesterol.The real
enemy of high cholesterol, according to
organizations like the Cleveland Clinic, is
Trans-fats. And in regards to body fat, gaining
fat is more about calories consumed than a
particular macronutrient. Another food that has
been labeled a public health enemy is bacon. Just
like eggs, we now know that bacon isnt going to
necessarily drive up cholesterol. The problem is
that packaged bacon often contains nitrates and
other additives which are bad for healthalways
go natural when possible. Additionally, to get
the most balanced meal, couple your eggs with a
bunch of spinach if you can. While we may not
think of veggies as being a good fit for
breakfast, they are perfect in an omelet or when
you scramble your eggs just throw in the greens.
As far as fats go, eggs are good, but you should
look to add more healthy fats to your
meal. Whether its cooking your eggs in coconut
oil, or adding a big slice of avocado to them,
make sure to get fats where you can.
